Your skin undertone is crucial for selecting the right blush color. To determine this, look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in natural daylight.
If you have a cool undertone, your veins will appear more bluish. Greenish veins indicate a warm skin type. If your veins appear neither bluish nor greenish, you most likely have a neutral skin type.
Still the most widely used is the classic powder blush. This blush is especially the better choice for oily and blemished skin, as it mattifies the skin and avoids additional glow.
Additionally, powder blush blends very well with powder highlighters and bronzers, as the transitions are easier to blend. Powder blushes are also suitable for makeup beginners, as they are easy to handle and blend.
Good to know: The more powder blush you use, the better you should blend it with a brush to avoid harsh transitions and unsightly edges.
For dry or mature skin cream and liquid blushes are ideal because they can provide the skin with additional moisture and care without drying it out. The delicate shimmer particles do not settle as easily into fine lines due to the creamy consistency, resulting in a silky complexion.
You can now find cream blush in many forms: in a jar, in a tube, as a so-called cushion blush (with an integrated sponge), or in stick form. We will tell you more about this shortly.
You’ve probably seen these small lipstick-like sticks before – blush sticks are practical makeup multitools for on the go. Thanks to their compact form, a blush stick is easy to transport, takes up little space in your beauty case, and is simple to use. The creamy consistency can be quickly and easily applied and gently blended either with the stick itself or with (clean!) fingers.
Our tip: You can build up the color intensity by applying the product multiple times. By the way, a blush stick can also be cleverly repurposed as a lipstick or creamy eyeshadow.
Why natural blushes are the better choice
Blushes of natural cosmetic quality contain delicately shimmering mineral color pigments that quickly provide a fresh complexion. All lavera blushes are naturally free from silicones, mineral oil, and microplastics. They are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
To answer this question, here's a beauty tip: The darker the skin tone, the bolder the blush can be. There's also a simple answer to the question of which blush is suitable for fair skin: lighter skin types are wonderfully complemented by a soft, lighter blush.
Hair color is not decisive for choosing the right blush color. Instead, you should select your color based on your skin undertone. Our product overview above will help you with this.
This is not an easy question to answer and depends on your skin type and styling preference. Liquid blush has a clear advantage over powder blush: it is very suitable for dry skin. The creamy or even liquid texture is often enriched with nourishing ingredients and does not settle easily on dry patches. Powdery textures, on the other hand, are more suitable for oily or shiny skin.
A soft brush is ideal for applying powder textures evenly on the face and blending them out. The brush should not be too large, so the product can be applied precisely to the areas of the face you want to highlight. Avoid using a brush that is too small, as it can make blending difficult and result in patchy and unnatural outcomes. Powder blush can be applied directly to the skin or over makeup.
Here's how: Pick up some powder with a brush, apply it directly to the cheekbones, and blend towards the temples. Our tip: A little blush on the nose and chin can add even more freshness.
There are various ways to apply cream blush or a blush stick. The easiest way is to dab the product directly onto the skin with clean fingers and blend it out.
Did you know? The body heat helps cream blush blend beautifully with the skin, achieving a natural result.
If you prefer not to apply blush with your fingers and wonder which brush is suitable for cream blush, special large blush brushes are ideal for cream or liquid blushes. They allow you to apply your blush evenly and blend it seamlessly. Alternatively, you can use a clean sponge.
